A malaria model with two delays
Summary: A transmission model of malaria with two delays is formulated. We calculate the basic reproduction number \(R_0\) for the model. It is shown that the basic reproduction number is a decreasing function of two time delays. The existence of the equilibria is studied. Our results suggest that the model undergoes a backward bifurcation, which implies that bringing the basic reproduction number below 1 is not enough to eradicate malaria.
